I got mine covered for her long winter nap.

Is that a 280 EC with a radar arch and a Fischer cover? If so, how hard was the cover to put on? How much time did it take? Is there a frame inside? Any pictures?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, that is my 280EC inside there and it is a Fisher cover. It takes 2 people to put it on. Maybe about 30-45 minutes depending on the helper. I do have a frame inside made out of 2" and 1" PVC pipe. For support poles, I used toilet flanges with reducers to get to 2" because they are flat. I will find some pictures for you of the frame. @Dude_Himself , I got the cover from @coverguy .

@Dude_Himself , here is the thread that shows my cover and frames being built.

Very nice @raybo3. I’m missing mine in the worst way! The wifey never asks me for anything but the past month she’s been on my butt to get another boat.

Been a hectic few months. Honestly can’t find a tinker! We love the 310 but it’s a little out of our budget. We put an offer in on a maxim yesterday. Really want to be in the 30ft range as far as size. Had no plans to get another boat so soon after selling my 270

raybo3 · October 2017

Good luck with getting a boat.

Dream_Inn · October 2017

Well, I winterized and covered mine yesterday. A week or two earlier than normal, but glad it's done.

Nobody was there... Davis Park Store was boarded up and closed and the Casino was closed as well. We stopped at Island Empanada on the way to the marina. Just hung out for a few hours and came home around 8:30pm... gorgeous night!!

aero3113 · October 2017

Was a beautiful day! We spent the day in Port Jeff. Ate lunch at the park right on the water, it was torcher seeing the boats still in the water!

rasbury · October 2017

Global warming...soon everyone will be living in Florida...

Handymans342 · October 2017

Wow thats a nice beach

LaRea · October 2017

I'm having a blast trying to put 10 hours on my rebuilt outdrive before the end of the season. Got two hours in yesterday during a beautiful sunset cruise to Alexandria. Snapped a pic of National Harbor and the new MGM Grand casino on the way back.

Past that many times on the bridge lol

raybo3 · October 2017

So my boat is on the hard and I just drove by the beach and the ocean is as flat as a pond. Best weather conditions all year and I am not in the water.....MFL.......LOL

J3ff · October 2017

I'm still in the water, my 1pm crew members just cancelled because their kid just threw up all over the car and has a fever. Having trouble finding a second crew, have been out myself everyday last week. Is it possible to be tired of boating on the last nice day of the year?

kordo · October 2017

First time for indoor storage for me. Made a little video. Thought you might like it.
